Can citations/references be supported? #33

Open kleinbottle opened 3 years ago

kleinbottle commented 3 years ago

I find the need to include a reference and its citation in a letter. But I find that the letter template does not support sections. Is there any way to work around this?

Thanks.

PS. Thanks for an excellent template.🙂

unfortunately support for these types of features are limited by the underlying letter template

There are biblatex / natbib setup commands in the template, and they do generate in text citations and a reference list, so you certainly can get generic references. One small problem is I get an asterisk next to the title (which comes from the missing section support), but surely this could easily be fixed with a post-processor to remove it (I use pandocomatic that can run post-processing scripts on the tex file before it is converted to a PDF)... I also tested that citeproc refs can work (adding some bits from the pandoc latex template), however they get placed before the signature block...
